Choose from hundreds of practical scenarios and Memrise will give you the Russian vocabulary and practice to master those specific Russian conversations.

- Build your vocabulary with Russian words and phrases that locals actually use.
- Practice listening to native speakers using the vocabulary that you're learning, so you can understand them confidently in the real world.
- Practice speaking with your AI language tutor, so you can build confidence in private before having the conversations for real.

Our language experts have created hundreds of practical "scenarios" to choose from at the start of your journey. These scenarios relate to your reasons and interests for learning Russian, whether it's connecting with your partner's family or simply understanding the lyrics to your favourite songs.

Choose your scenarios and learn relevant Russian words and phrases that locals will actually use.

Once you've learnt some useful Russian words, you'll be presented with listening practice. Immerse yourself in videos of Russian native speakers using the words you've just learnt in a real-world context. This is important, so you can understand conversations confidently.

Next, you'll be presented with speaking practice with your AI language tutor that relates to the scenarios you've chosen. Want to order food at a restaurant in Russian? Practice all the related topics in private, so you can talk confidently in the real world.

As much or as little as you like.

We suggest doing a small amount consistently and for that reason we offer you a recommended learning plan. However, you can always learn more or less should you wish.

We do not offer certificates for learning with us.

However, we're sure that the locals actually understanding you is all the street cred you'll need!

It doesn't have to be difficult! The secret to making learning easier and more fun is quite simple - focus on learning what you want to learn!

Memrise offers you this, by providing you with content based on your reasons for learning Russian.
